Freshman student gets in car accident on way to orientation - The Daily Athenaeum
"I remember looking at the guy in the eyes—he was really close to me," Williams, now a freshman, said. Thankfully, Williams said, an off-duty EMT got out of his vehicle and helped the motorcyclist so Williams could help his dad. To make matters worse, when Williams called 9-1-1 for help, they hung up on him after he vaguely described his initial location as "outside of West Virginia University. A nurse, who also happened to be at the scene of the accident, helped calm down Williams’ sister. Then, seeing the car filled with all of Williams’ belongings for freshman move-in, the nurse moved all his things to her car. Unwilling to leave his father, Williams hopped in the passenger seat of the ambulance, and the driver gave him his first official tour of Morgantown on their way to Ruby Memorial Hospital. She showed me around on the way there because it was the first time I’d ever been here," Williams said. The generous nurse, although already late for work, drove Williams’ sister to the hospital to be checked out. The nurse brought all of Williams’ belongings to Towers, and helped move his stuff later that day. When Williams first entered the trauma unit of the hospital with his father, he recalled.
